Turmeric is a very low-purine spice that may offer mild anti-inflammatory benefits for gout.
Good
Curcumin, the active compound, can inhibit xanthine oxidase and reduce inflammation. Culinary amounts are safe and may help lower uric acid modestly in some people.
Bad
High-dose curcumin supplements can interact with blood thinners and are not a substitute for prescribed urate-lowering therapy. Clinical evidence remains mixed for urate reduction.
